In a large room, the left side being a cobbler's workshop, the right a kitchen, a cobbler sits on a bench, before an open window, his hammer in hand. Behind him, on a table are dishes and food, and to the right a woman in an apron cooks with a large frying pan over the hearth grate. On the walls are displayed a number of tools, shoemaker's lasts, flatirons and tableware. An equestrian print with a portrait of the Duke of Cumberland on horseback hangs above the mantlepiece, and a bird in a cage hangs over the cobbler. A stairway is partially visible in the background, and a dog and cat sleep on the floor in the foreground
